Back in the before times, when a president could get in trouble for the color of his suit, I did a podcast with my daughter. Our first-ever guest was the inimitable @unamccormack.bsky.social, and we couldn’t stop talking about Star Trek, Doctor Who, and Middle-earth, leading to our first two parter!

In 2024, Trump got 49.8% of the popular vote, winning by 1.5%. In the new Time interview he claimed he won 86% of the popular vote. And the interviewer just moved on. I get that they were letting him run his mouth and sound insane, but people need to tell him he's wrong to his stupid orange face.

Haven't mentioned this in forever! Way back in the day, before the world started sliding into oblivion, I did a podcast with my daughter. In Ep. 2, we discussed 5 versions of Sherlock Holmes—Peter Cushing, Jeremy Brett, Robert Downey Jr., Benedict Cumberbatch, and Jonny Lee Miller. The game’s afoot!

Tafoya complains that Minnesota has gone so far left—we’ve been a blue state for decades. The last Republican president to win MN was Nixon in 72. We were the ONLY state Reagan didn’t win for his second term. Sadly, it’s more accurate to say MN has moved to the right, like the whole fucked-up world.

I hope protestors will gather on Memorial Circle to block construction work on Trump's deranged military outpost/arch. I'm also hoping that protestors will form a human chain around the Kennedy Center to block any attempted demolition. Hey, contractors, just say no! It's a word Trump needs to hear.

My fellow Minnesotans, including my daughter and her partner, were in the frontlines facing lawless ICE stormtroopers murdering us in the streets. I’ve never been prouder of Minnesota. I’m never embarrassed to be Minnesotan. Fuck off all the Trump bootlickers.

If I had a nickel for every time I didn’t hit a wall stud after quadruple-checking with my fancy electronic stud finder, I’d be a wealthy man. How is this wall even standing? Are there any studs in there anywhere?

I can't remember all the details, but when I copyedited The High Country, I had reason to believe it was La'an. But then another project I was working on had it as La'An. So I called in the big guns and @jvancitters.bsky.social and Kirsten Beyer confirmed La'An was the correct style. So say we all.

Dear everyone in construction/demolition: Some of you got fooled and took the orders of the mad king and tore down the East Wing. Don't any of you get fooled again when he tells you to tear down the Kennedy Center. You don't have to do what he says. He doesn't have the right to do this stuff.
